 Abbey yard. Of this a full description and drawings are 

 given by the Rev. W. H. Jones, Wilts Arch. Mag. vol. v., 247.

 Wilts Arch. Mag. v., 35.

In the parish church were two chantries : the first endowed 

 7 Hen. V. by Reginald Halle, at the altar of St. Nicholas ; 

 the other, Horton's chantry, of which William Furbner was

 year. " This had been founded purposely for mayntenance of
